Child Protection Policy
The Grand National Archery Society (GNAS) accepts a moral
responsibility to implement procedures to provide a duty of
care for young people, to safeguard the well being of young
and vulnerable adults and protect them from physical, sexual
or emotional harm and from neglect or bullying.
Archery and indeed all sports can have a very powerful and
positive influence on people – especially young people.
Not only can it provide opportunities for enjoyment and achievement,
it can also develop valuable qualities such as self-esteem,
self-confidence, leadership and teamwork.
GNAS is committed to providing information to educate those
working with children and vulnerable adults adopt best practice
to ensure the safety and welfare of everyone within the sport
of archery.
The club believes that when dealing with children and vulnerable
adults, their welfare should always be of paramount importance.
We are committed to providing an environment where young people
can learn and participate in a sport free from harassment
and abuse. All those people working with children have a moral
responsibility to safeguard and promote a child’s welfare.
This club has therefore adopted the GNAS Protection
of Children and Vulnerable Adults Policy to ensure
peace of mind for both adults and children. Copies can be
downloaded from the GNAS
website.
A Child Protection Officer is appointed by the club and
can be approached at any time should anyone have any concerns
regarding children belonging to the club.
